Yesterday recap

It was a lazy Sunday.

In the morning I got busy on my chores and found all our rechargable batteries so I could make sure everything is full before this storm. The projection right now is we will get 4-5 inches of rain with 5+ inches in the moutains right above us this week. I know other areas get more in single storms. However, our flooding risk is the amount of rain in the mountains and the hundreds of rivers and streams.

I know I’ve mentioned this a lot. But, it is hard to turn off my prepper brain. I have to admit I get kind of excited for extreme weather.

Due to the weather we aren’t working today. But, the rest of the week we are and its gonna be soggy. Just get this done and be on hibernation.

I sent some links to SIL for Android retro gaming and we chatted for a few minutes about it. He sounds like he is trying to exclusively play N64 stuff, so helping a little with it.

I also messaged a few times with the other half of that relationship to find out what my oldest is getting her mom so we don’t duplicate any gifts. Her list is way better than mine 😅.

Early afternoon my mom and brother came by to hang out. We watched the 2025 Royal Rumble (oldest gorls request), had a few snacks, and hung out. They had gifts for oldest gorl, so opened those as well.

Late afternoon I played some games with the gorls. I tried to play a local multiplayer game, but neither of them liked it and openly complained. So, we switched to WWE 2k so they could team up on me. I got wrecked in record time.

Some of the replacement parts for my phone arrived. Got the new screen protector on and attached an after-market magsafe ring to the back of the new case. I don’t have any magsafe accessories except some magnetic phone mounts. The ring works perfectly.

Dinner, bed time, and then we finished Lethal Weapon.

I basically didn’t get any sleep, though. I woke up gasping for air and a mouthful of my stomach contents at 2:30AM due to GERD. It took me an hour to calm down and to get myself in a spot where I could actually lay down without it happening again. I spent the rest of the night waking up every 30 min to swallow down more gut juice.

How are you feeling today?

Like dog shit.

Gratitude

Very good to have my brother and mom out for a few hours.
